About Jo

I am a 30 year old female who has always lived with animals and have lots of experience working with animals. I work as a Sustainability Manager for a Housing Association as I am passionate about the natural world and animals. I have always pursued a career in conservation, sustainability and the natural world. 

The majority of the time I work from home but have put off adopting my own dog due to occasions where I away for work once or twice a month but absolutely love looking after other's dogs and spend a lot of my time outdoors walking or running.

I have experience working as a zookeeper on the Carnivore section with big cats, wolves and hunting dogs and working abroad with bears. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, geese, goats and riding horses. 

I've always dog sat for friends or family but now moved into a larger property with a garden so would love to dog sit and walk people's dogs. 

As I spend the majority of my time working from home, I will be available to supervise pets the majority of the day. I can walk dogs staying for day care or boarding multiple times a day as my job is quite flexible around lunchtimes and can work from the day sitting location if necessary (I just need wifi).

I can only take one dog (or two from the same household) at a time due as per my licence from Wealden Council.

Happy for dogs to travel in my car with owners consent and owners to provide crates/harnesses/seatbelts etc.

Owners to provide food bowls, beds, toys, food, treats, collars and leads.

Day Sitting Hours: negotiable

Boarding: Collected by 10am the following day. Later collections must book for following day (day sitting)

Visits: 30mins - 1 hour depending on location and requirements.

House Sitting: in local area (Lewes, Uckfield, Crowborough, Haywards Heath, Heathfield)
